It has been so fun this year to spend Birthdays with each of our children. (It doesn't happen often with Des in SLC and Danette in Texas) Starting with Dan in Jan, Danette, Brittany in Feb. and Des in Mar. we have one left and that will be coming up in June we will no longer have a teenager in the home. It is amazing how fast time has gone. Reflecting back over each child now adults, and the day they were born. I remember thinking and being a little frightened with Desirae, will I be a good mother will I be able to do all I need to do to help her learn all she needs to know here. Being a first time mom was over whelming at first as we all know. With each little spirit that came into our home after that, those thoughts still entered my mind. Hoping that I was doing all I could do and all the Heavenly Father expected of me. I still have those thoughts today only they are did I do all I could do and did I do all that Heavenly Father expected of me and still expects of me, and as grandparents are we doing all we can do! I am just grateful for the wonderful little spirits that our Heavenly Father sent to us. In spite of me and my short comings, they are all wonderful Son and Daughters they came with their own determination to do what is right and to follow Heavenly Fathers plan. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for the opportunity to have been blessed with such great Children and a wonderful husband who has been by my side in this Journey. I love you all so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the picture of me totally looks like Lucas! We are the way we are because of some GREAT parents!!
Oh my goodness, we are all so cute. (I love how there are two pictures of me by the way.)
You are a wonderful mom- couldn't ask for a better example. I am so glad that I can still call you for advice and that you love my kids as much as I do. You did a great job- you are doing a great job- and you will still do a great job for as long as you live. Love you Mom!
Brit yes when I saw that picture I thought it looked like Lucas as well.
Des, I noticed just today that it posted two pics of you so I just changed the format so it would show just one of each of you not that I wouldn't want two of you! :)
Love you to mom!!! I agree!! You have done an amazing job and you continue to do an amazing job everyday! You and dad are amazing parents and have been huge examples! You've taught us all everything we needed to know and now it's in our hands! I know God will be pleased with everything you've done and continue to do! :) Love you so much!
gotta love the backdrop in Sharise's picture. Classic!
Well time for the Dad to sound in. Still waiting for the boy. May be awhile not sure how often he checks out the "blogs". Grateful for a wonderful wife and mother and for 5 fantastic offspring. Couldn't ask for better individuals that make up a whole family. And the choice of spouses has been icing on the cake with the trimming of grandchildren a lovely addition. LOVE YOU ALL. DAD
